New blogpost – Knitting a lengthwise scarf

There are always lots of options when starting a new scarf:
.  Who will this be for?
.  Is this for early autumn or for later?
.  What yarn do I want to use? etc

And here's another vital question to add:
.  Do I want to knit this lengthwise or from side-to-side? 

So I thought I would look at some scarves that are worked in each direction and consider the pros and cons of each approach.

We are moving to the UK!

We have been thinking about returning to England for a long time and decided that this was the year to do this. So as part of the process, I moved my website to my host's UK site, where it promptly stopped working...  

Please read all about our move and my newly-recreated website in my blogpost here. And in the meantime, please enjoy a view of the trees at Avebury in Wiltshire near our new house!

New scarf pattern

And here is a new scarf, the ​Avebury Scarf.  This design was inspired by our visit to the standing stones at Avebury, just along the path you can see in the photo above. As the clouds scudded past in the strong breeze, the stones changed from a light grey to a wonderfully deep indigo blue. Quite magical...

The scarf is completely reversible and is worked using a sportweight wool yarn for a light-weight but warm result – just perfect for this time of year.
​
The pattern includes instructions for two widths and three lengths so you can tailor the scarf for a range of wrapping styles. Read more about this new scarf pattern here.
